To be the object of kindness and favors and. then, to forget thro, is not only a blur in any one' character, but ia surely unpleesing to the Giv erof all gifts. This he felt, and, Ihia influenced him in all hie arte. Not only wa bis heart culture regarded by hia par MR, but Rankin was fatored with excellent op portunities of acquiring a tound Englith education. Thee he wisely improved. He was a ready reader, good in arithmetical numbers and rules, and well advanced in the grammar of his own language. He lu lie d the latter at Rebel Church under Capt.

His father is an intelligent gentleman and knew well how to estimate the benefits of a good education. He aent this eon to echool a great deal. He was a lad of steady habits and industrious mind. and he improved hia time at school to the utmost. He was always a very correct and exemplary youth, and as he ripened in years, his heart was softened and purified with the hop of that blissful inheri tance which lieth on the other side of the vale of death. He was a member of the Christian cnuren at Ilethlehem in this county. He was a farmer ; but he was, emphatically, a handicraftsman. He could turn his hand success fully to all the mechanic arts. He waa skilful in working in wood and iron, and never failled in ma king well and handsomely anything to which he set his head. Notwithstanding his youthfulness, he had quite an extensive reputation in the eastern part of the county for mechanical ingenuity and genius. He was a paragon of soldierly honor and gallantry. He was careful, in his conduct and words, to oSend none; his kindness, in its boundlessness, sought the hapdaeesof all his fellows; and he went calmly, courageously and unfalteringly to whatever posuluty called him in the camp, or on the field. He was. as all thought, only slightly wounded in the i.e. k M the battle of Winchester ; but it proved tobemorul. He was carried back to the hospital at CharlottesTi!li where he died on the lbth of June, 1812. He was filling the office of Corporal under Capt. Rankin at the time he received the wound which cued his death. His sojourn in this state of pro bation was short ; his csreer, though humble, was mcful; and, dying, Le left a sweet hope with the mourners to cheer them in their grief. l$r Kditor Patriot : W ill you be so km I as t give to tho publio, 'hrough your col umn?, the prucecJingji of a meeting hell bj the Twenty-seventh regiment, North Carolina Troop, on the 17th instant.

KiaiAHD MtKLING, Principal i ADDRESS TO PARENTS AND TEACHERS. The andcr.tgned Comraiue have beo appointed by the State Educational Amo ciVtion of North Carolina to prepare addresi to Parents and Teachen upon the subject of text-books. iJ .h-n-rformnnce of ibe task thus im- posed upon us, we icel it to be our duty to peak out plainly, tno Bonuaieuv. Sate Association, and also, of rery msrty SL&te Association able and faithfa! teachers and instructors amongst ns, and to fix these, il possioi-, m the minds and hearts of parents and tea chers at large. Theviewa to which wo allude are these: That is highly expedient that text.boosrs of Southern authorship and manufacture be lined in our schools and colleges when buitable one can be fotfnd ; and that we abould discourage and frown upon ail at tempts to import or republish any foreign text-book, when works equally valuable may be bad at home. The reasons for such a conclusion are obvious and will he multiplied by reflec tion. Wo think it proper, howevor, to state a fow which present themselves most naturally, and earnestly beg tho public to consider them well ; to see if they be. good reasons and to act accordingly. We disclaim at the outset any intention to convey the idea that literature, in the highest sense, is sectional or national, be lieving that it is an effort of the raco to reach something nobler and holier, and, as such, not addressed to us as socially de termined, but as belonging to tho t-ommon Brotherhood of Humanity. We would urge, notwithstanding, First, That Southern writers are best fitted to prepare Textbooks for Southern use. They are penetratod with the spirit of our insti tutions, acquainted with oar habits, oar modes of thought, our social relations &c. ; hence it is evident that they can ho express thomselvos, that pupils will more readily understand and aDDreciate lessons in such books, than in thoso whose writers are des titute of advantages. 1 alee Dnt one exam dIc. for we must be brief. Take for in stance the mass of books whioh have been in common use for children, when the ex crciscs and illustrations are taken from the harbour, the crowded thoroughfare, the commercial mart and such like scenes with which our children, generally, are not familiar, and which are so unmteresUngaod irksome to them. How different the im pression, how much happier the effect were these exorcises and illustrations taken from the scenes of rural life in country and villago, from our fields of corn, our breaths of wheat, our harvest festivals; from the associations of farm life and its repose; from the mill, the school house, the quiet church on the hill, tho graveyard bard by, and a thousand things, which would sug goat themselves to a writer of good judg ment. But our limits provent us from de velopingtho idea further. Another reason we adduce for coosidera lion is this: That the present time, if any, is the most favorable for carrying into effect plans which contemplate tho croulion of a homo literature, particularly in the depart ment of primary education. We aro abut out from tLe lorein world, and especially Irom that source on which we havo hither to relied almost exclusively for the eupply ot 1 extbok8 on all tho branches ot edu cation.
